Chapter 1725: The Great Shame

In order to rescue the court officials who were imprisoned in the imperial prison, and to save his son Xie Pi, Xie Qian put down all his arrogance and spoke humbly in front of the eunuchs he hated, showing a low attitude of respecting Liu Jin.

Liu Jin was very satisfied with Xie Qian's attitude, but he only showed this in private. He thought it was not enough. It would be great if Xie Qian did this in front of others.

Liu Jin said: "Sister Xie asked the Silijian to speak. Our family wanted to discuss with you who framed our family."

Xie Qian nodded helplessly, followed Liu Jin and headed to the Sili Supervision Office together. Entering the Sili Supervision Gate, Dai Yi and several eunuchs were there. When they saw Liu Jin who was showing off that day, they appeared in Sili Supervision together with the cabinet chief who had previously chosen to hold a high battle-free card, they knew that the problem was not that simple.

Dai Yi wanted to take the people from Silijian to leave, and Liu Jin shouted loudly: "What are you going? Our family is about to discuss matters with Young Master Xie, so you can come and listen."

Dai Yi didn't expect Liu Jin to come like this.

They were working overtime to find the memorials of the court officials who impeached Liu Jin, trying to find out who was not good for Liu Jin, but they didn't expect that Liu Jin would actually show up to the rank of the rank of the rank of Xie Qian.

Liu Jin didn't care about Xie Qian's face at all, so he walked straight to his seat and sat down, then looked up at Xie Qian who was standing there in a daze.

The eunuchs present were all silent. No one expected that Liu Jin would dare to be so arrogant and domineering in front of the cabinet chief. The eunuch who served the people sat proudly, while the chief minister of the cabinet, the head of the civil minister, stood and obeyed the orders. It was unheard of.

Xie Qian used to be respectful to the people of the Silijian, but in public, the Silijian also showed respect for the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, especially the Chief Minister. Such a situation of moral reversal in front of him never occurred in the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Jin sat upright and asked in a condescending tone: "Xie Shaofu, I wonder what you think about someone who wrote a memorial to frame our family?"

Under the eyes of the eunuchs, Xie Qian was extremely embarrassed, but he could only grit his teeth and pretend to be nothing, and salute: "If you go back to Eunuch Liu, it is probably the eunuchs in the palace, but I don't know if this is the person in the lie jail?"

As he said that, Xie Qian looked around. The eunuch present at the scene never expected that Xie Qian would be so slandered. The chief pen Dai Yi said in surprise: "Sir Young Master, don't talk nonsense."

In Dai Yi's opinion, he had just reminded Xie Qian in the morning and believed that he and Xie Qian were on the same front. Unexpectedly, Xie Qian stood on Liu Jin's side and spoke in a blink of an eye.

Although Dai Yi had a very old experience in the palace, his knowledge was average. He never thought that Xie Qian had to surrender to Liu Jinxu in order to rescue the officials who issued the imperial edict.

Dai Yi was thinking, could Xie Qian also join the eunuch party camp?

Liu Jin glared at Dai Yi: "Eunuch Dai, why, you dare to openly threaten Young Master Xie? It seems that you usually complain to our family, and this matter may be what you did."

Dai Yi saw this attitude and was obviously framed by someone, so he quickly explained humbly: "Eunuch Liu, you can't believe others wrongly. There are some rumors now that people in the palace framed Eunuch Liu. Even if this matter is true, then those who do the slander must be Li Rong and others. Usually, he has a bad relationship with you. Otherwise... the father-in-law summoned him to confront him?"

Liu Jin nodded and then shouted: "Where is the Imperial Prison Li Rong?"

Someone came over and asked for instructions immediately: "Dadfather-in-law, have you invited someone?"

"What is inviting people? I'm calling Zhang Yuan, Eunuch Zhang and others. We want to know who is against our family!" Liu Jin said.

Someone immediately helped Liu Jin get the person, but Xie Qian stood beside him without saying a word.

...

...

In less than half an hour, the eunuchs who could be in charge of the palace were basically here, and even Zhang Yuan, Li Xing and others came, but there was no trace of the eunuchs Li Rong, the eunuchs who were the chief sealers of the imperial sealers, and Huang Xing and others.

When Liu Jin saw Wei Bin coming, he shouted: "Where did Li Rong, Huang Xing and others go?"

Wei Bin replied hurriedly: "Eunuch Liu, I have just sent someone to search the mansions of these people and found that they have all escaped. I am afraid that they have left the palace now."

"What? The person ran away? What do you do? Are you having a good meal?" Liu Jin got angry at Wei Bin.

Wei Bin said: "Now that night is dark and windy, these people will definitely not be able to leave the palace gate. People have been sent to search in the palace. They will definitely find these people and leave them to their father-in-law."

Liu Jin was very angry and panted heavily. Seeing this, Xie Qian hurried over and said, "Eunuch Liu, since this matter is mostly done by these people, the official in the prison of Jinyiwei..."

Liu Jin glanced at Xie Qian and thought to himself: "I didn't want to let anyone go immediately, but when I saw that Xie Qian, the chief minister, was so humble. I thought I would be suppressed by me in the future. I also have to give you some benefits appropriately so that you can know my power and listen to my order in the future."

Thinking of this, Liu Jin waved his hand: "Originally, our family didn't want to make things difficult for the court officials. Since the truth has been revealed... I'm here to pass on the message and release the court officials in the prison."

Wei Bin was eager to make contributions. He had already imposed punishments on those civil officials before, and several of them were beaten very hard and had their lives. He was afraid of being implicated by this matter, so he quickly stood up and asked for instructions: "Eunuch Liu, I found out that several people joined forces with the inner officials in the palace to frame the loyal and good-natured..."

"What? Then these people will stay in the Jinyiwei Prison for the time being and will not be released!" Liu Jin ordered directly regardless of the matter.

Although Xie Qian felt that it was not appropriate, he was thinking about rescuing more officials, so he didn't care about the unlucky guys.

He was just afraid that his son would be among the officials who would not be released.

Xie Qian looked at Wei Bin and saw that Wei Bin's expression was not right, so he was even more worried.

After Liu Jin gave the order, Xie Qian gave a farewell: "Eunuch Liu, it is already a matter in the palace now and has nothing to do with the cabinet and the ministers of the court. It is time for me to go back."

Liu Jin smiled and said, "Why should Young Master Xie leave in a hurry? Why should I spend the night in the palace?"

"No."

Xie Qian smiled and said, "I am old and in poor health. In addition, the disease has not been cured and I cannot support it. Since you have something to deal with, you have to deal with it. I can't help me stay here, so I will take my leave first."

Liu Jin originally wanted Xie Qian to stay and appreciate how he punished Li Rong, Huang Xing and others, but Xie Qian insisted on leaving, and he had no choice but to nod, "Send someone to send Xie Shaofu out of the palace."

Xie Qian then turned around and left the Sili Supervisor with some anger and shame.

After leaving the gate of the Silijian, Xie Qiantou did not go back to Baoning Gate, and his heart was filled with excitement: "What a shame and humiliation. In order to rescue the court officials, I don't want this old face..."

"After this incident, I really don't know how to deal with myself in the court. I might as well retreat earlier and return to my hometown in Yuyao, and have fun with my children and grandchildren. As for how Shen Zhihou becomes an official in the court, it has nothing to do with me, so he will do whatever he likes."

Xie Qian led today's affairs as a great humiliation in his life, and developed the desire to retire and return home.

...

...

Liu Jin released the person.

Except for the continued detention of a few officials, saying that these people framed Zhongliang with Li Rong, Huang Xing and others in the palace, the rest left the imperial prison with some serious injuries.

Xie Pi returned to Xie's mansion safely. Seeing that his son returned safely, Xie Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Liu Jin sent people to search for Li Rong, Huang Xing and others everywhere, but until dawn, no trace of eunuchs was found, as if the person had left the palace gate.

After dawn, he left the palace for two days. Zhu Houzhao, who was happy and unaware of major events in the palace, returned to the palace with a little bit of enthusiasm. When he walked to the Donghua Gate Palace Gate, he was stopped by Li Rong and others wearing imperial guard uniforms and hiding in the palace gate post.

Li Rong and other eunuchs went up and knelt on the ground and cried to Zhu Houzhao, telling Zhu Houzhao what Liu Jin had done the day before.

"...Your Majesty, Eunuch Liu is too lying to kill everyone. In order to retaliate against someone who impeached him on the same day, he summoned many ministers into the palace to kneel down for a day, and even falsely passed an imperial edict saying that this was from your order..."

Zhu Houzhaoben was half asleep and half awake when he heard these things, holding his head and asked in confusion: "What's this mess? What did Liu Jin do?"

At this moment, Liu Jin, who knew that Zhu Houzhao had left the Leopard Room and returned to the palace, led Wei Bin and others to the front of Donghua Gate.

Liu Jin stepped forward and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, I am guilty."

With one sentence, Zhu Houzhao attracted Zhu Houzhao's gaze. Zhu Houzhao stared at Liu Jin and angrily scolded: "Liu Jin, let's say, I was not in the palace yesterday, what did you do?"

Liu Jin said: "Go back to Your Majesty, yesterday I just followed your instructions and let the ministers enter the palace. After Your Majesty returns to the palace, I will ask Your Majesty about the verdict. Yesterday, I told Your Majesty you... "

Zhu Houzhao took a breath and said angrily: "You dog, I asked you to choose a date, not to let you do it immediately. Don't you understand human words?"

Li Rong cried and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Jin clearly wants to take the opportunity to retaliate, but those ministers knelt in the palace for a whole day."

Zhu Houzhao asked angrily: "Liu Jin, is there any such thing?"

Liu Jin still knelt on the ground and spoke sincerely: "Your Majesty, I have not made things difficult for those court officials. Many officials left the palace gate after noon. I did not force the officials to stay in the palace. They insisted on staying in the palace waiting for your arrival."

Zhu Houzhao was full of confusion and looked at Wei Bin and Zhang Yuan and asked, "Is the situation true?"

At this time, Zhang Yuan surrendered to Liu Jin's tyranny power and could only answer vaguely according to Liu Jin's meaning: "Eunuch Liu... what he said is not false."

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself: "Zhang Yuan has always had a grudge against Liu Jin. Since he said so, there is no problem."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Rong who was kneeling on the ground and snot and tears, and asked, "You guys, what does this mean? I just came back and you blocked the palace gate? Are you intentionally disturbing me?"

Liu Jin said sternly: "Your Majesty, I found out yesterday that these people were ill-behaved and actually interfered in the government affairs secretly, and even hid gold and silver privately. I have already found out the matter clearly, please let Your Majesty decide."
